Hello team,
While starting Elasticsearch 7.17.0 with security enabled, getting below error.
Please suggest where we need set the password and how.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you have configured a truststore in
```auto
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path:
```
that is password protected, but you haven’t configured its password correctly. Can you verify ?
